Taiga Times

We are a Finnish-Canadian couple with a great love for the outdoors
Our story began in Australia and since then we have explored the world together by planes, trains, automobiles, and everything in between. It has been six years since the beginning, and we have settled down in Finland which has been one of our favourite outdoor destinations to date. It is a serene and charming paradise for those seeking outdoor adventure.

Our passion comes from discovery
Every time we step outside, we learn more about our surroundings and, ultimately, ourselves. In Finland we don’t have ancient temples or modern skyscrapers. What we do have is pristine unspoiled wilderness with thousands of lakes and trails connecting, which we can travel comfortably by. It would seem that we have one of the last slices of true wilderness in Europe.

Our home is your home
We want to show you our beautiful home and be there with you to make it a safe, amazing, and authentic nature experience which you will remember for the rest of your life. Our guided tours from Helsinki are designed to be easily joined and we also offer customized private tours.

Jeff is the Canadian one, who has studied to be a wilderness guide here in Finland. With his own experiences and what he has learned in his studies he has professional knowledge of our nature and wildlife and always happy to share this knowledge with you. He will take you out to the wilderness and make sure every trip leaves you wanting to explore more and doing it safely.

Kiia is the Finnish one, who has studied tourism and hospitality management. As much as she loves to be outdoors, you won’t see her too often in the woods because she will be taking care of marketing, bookings, and administration.
